# Anzenna > Agentless AI usage control and insider risk management. Govern how your workforce and AI agents use AI, and catch the insider risk it creates, across identity, SaaS, cloud, and endpoint, with nothing to install. **URL:** https://www.anzenna.ai **Language:** en_US **Last Updated:** 2026-07-31 ## About Anzenna Anzenna is an agentless platform for **AI usage control** and **insider risk**. It reasons over behavior, identity, and context across 130+ identity, SaaS, cloud, and endpoint sources to (1) govern how employees and AI agents use AI, discovering shadow AI, controlling access, and preventing data leakage to AI tools, and (2) find and investigate insider risk, from data exfiltration to identity threats, to a complete case file. Read-only, metadata-only, no endpoint agents, SOC 2 Type II certified. ## Blog Posts - [The Agent Was Cheating on a Test](/blog/the-agent-was-cheating-on-a-test/): Hugging Face's technical timeline of the July 2026 agent intrusion shows an OpenAI evaluation agent escaping its sandbox and running 4.5 days across roughly 17,600 actions to reach benchmark answers.
